Venus enters brie� y bringing you a real chance to connect with love energies with a view to balancing and augmenting your strengths and passions. Bringing both the wisdom of Saturn and the freedom of Libra into play there is more to a current relation-ship than meets the eye.

Venus, your Planetary Leader, touches base with Saturn, bringing light on a current darkness and a solution to your most immedi-ate problems. Subsequent actions with Aries con� rm that you are now in pole position and are ready to take control when the time comes.

Mercury dallies with a conjunction with Mars with ongoing support of a dreamy Aquarius and a consoling Virgo. You can stay and lick your wounds and feel very sorry for yourself, or you can see the way ahead more clearly, and examine a pro� table loophole.

Start nothing right now if you can’t see the way to � nishing it. There are so many loose ends to be tied up, and priorities should beckon you on towards closure and transparency. Everything happens for a reason so look twice at something that could work after all.

Determined and highly productive it is essential that you are heard and appreciated right now when it matters before time moves the goal posts. There is a positive glow about success and the start of a new and challenging phase sees you taking the helm, where you belong

Mars brings hard and fast rules into play at a time when you need some tender love and care to see you through. Power at your elbow is not to be wasted, but it is quite obvious that this could be put to good use as it is plain to see you now have the upper hand.

Hosting as you do this week the Retrograde of Saturn, there comes a shedding of responsibilities, rebalancing and a need to avoid the very rules and structure that have prevented you from moving on. Enjoy the release and the freedom for what it is worth.

Nervous energy sees you having to put all your eggs in the same basket, albeit for good reason and with a view to strengthening your grip in a situation that has spun severely out of control. It is time to show others, who doubt you, what you are really made of.

With Jupiter in Taurus and your opposing sign Gemini in conjunction with Mars there comes a time of con� ict in which you are going to have to dig in your heels to get the maximum attention you desire. Things have to get a little worse before they get a lot better.

Neptune shoots from the hip and at least you will hear the truth rather than a garbled version of it. You have had your suspicions of late and they were founded in your psychic senses and strong beliefs. You have the bene� t of the doubt at last to spur you on.

Mercury’s entry brings you support and acts as a messenger bringing you the red light you have long awaited. Things cannot continue as they are, and when your faith and dedication is challenged, it is time to say goodbye, and to look for alternative pastures new

Planetary actions bring a Cosmic depth to your current plans, beckoning you on to be motivated by your own skills and talents. You have the best opportunity to see this through to the bitter end because at long last there is nothing to stop your natural talents.

MAL PAS BEACHThis is a small cove often missed by many visitors and is found at the end of the harbour road on the Poniente side of the Old Town. You can also reach it by steps from the top of the Old Town square known as La Señoria. This beach is popular with gay visitors especially in Winter when it is a sun trap.

PONIENTE BEACH (Popular gay area by the park at night)Beyond the Old Town starting at park Elche by the harbour and running for over 3km is the more sedate Poniente beach which is a favourite with local residents and Spanish families. The facilities are as good as the Levante but offer a less crowded space. Popular Gay area is in front of the park where you will also find the new Café Refuel the place to meet up after the Poniente beach for a beer and gossip. (Park Elx known as Dove Park also).

BENIDORM COVES - TI XIMO & ALMADRABAThese are small sandy coves reached by road at the far end of the Levante beyond the cable ski.

If you prefer to be more secluded these are recommended for the adventurous as it is quite a steep walk. There are no facilities so take plenty to drink and food if you are to spend an entire day there.

RACO CORNIL GAY PLAYA NUDISTA 4km FROM BENIDORMThis beach is best reached by hire car. Take the old Villa Joyosa road toward the casino. Take an immediate left at the casino and follow the road down to the car park where you will find a small rocky cove. The area both by the beach and at the top of the hill where you see a derelict Finca is very popular for all over sunbathing until sun down. The cove itself is mixed and is popular with Spanish couples too. You can walk if you take the number 5 or 41 bus to La Cala (From Park Elx by harbour) and walk over the hill. To get there face the beach and look to the right up the hill you will see a derelict villa set high up - head for it to get to the gay area which has been popular for 100 years! Take plenty of water with you as there are no facilities there.
